Welcome to Fitness & Spirit, I am Celina Acosta, your Medical Exercise Specialist residing in Katy, TX. You are most likely here because you are seeking answers and healing for a healthier and more functional lifestyle. My personal life journey has brought me through my own health obstacles sharing the same desires as you. Allow me to share with you my story, knowing that healing and a functional life with ease awaits you!

As a young girl, I was always seeking more, and to overcome my trauma, I put my God-given talents to use. Playing sports was an escape that gave me community, purpose and strength. I played a variety of sports and hit the gym for strength training. I discovered a new inner and outer beauty in my strength at the gym, resulting in fitness becoming my lifestyle.

After graduating high school, I committed to endurance running. I found a new peace and passion along my runs. I ran a ton of 5K’s, several half-marathons, and completed one full marathon. Throughout my years of running, I had stopped strength training to focus solely on running, and I learned the hard way, the necessity of both! I endured ankle and knee injuries, and lived with chronic pain along with other health conditions.

I persevered through my pain, understanding my journey and the necessity to keep going. I recommitted to strength training and modified my runs as necessary. After having children, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and was faced with new health conditions which propelled me even deeper into my journey for pain relief and answers.

I have learned that “you” are your best advocate and that perseverance can bring clarity. You are not alone and it is part of my mission to be present for you! In the midst of my suffering I discovered I had purpose and that I am a warrior! I am stronger, wiser, more experienced, and an overcomer. You can be too! “Are you ready?”

My education and passions have also been very much of my journey shaping and equipping me with my skill-set. My education in Psychology and Philosophy with a love in Neuroscience, took a detour into education. Within my years of education, my wisdom came full circle when I started teaching Action Based Learning. This gave me hope and a redirection back into the fitness industry. “Exercise grows brain cells!” ~ Jean Blaydes Madigon
